['Tis a pitiful thing, that now-a-days, sirs]
'Tis a pitiful thing, that now-a-days, sirs,Our poets turn Leathern Bottle praisers;
But if a leathern theam they did lack,
They might better have chosen the bonny Black Iack;
For when they are both now well worn and decayed,
For the Iack, than the bottle, much more can be said.
And I wish his soul much good may partake,
That first devised the bonny Black Iack.
